This type of map is not by any means new, only becoming more of the norm.
While historically video games have leaned toward a square/cube style world, more modern games are beginning to adapt a hexagonal map. This game uses a rouge like style that makes the challenge of the game massive! Between balancing food throughout the pack and the fast aging and inevitable death of the creatures, the chances of survival are not great. The creatures that the player can breed are absolutely adorable, even the inbreed and not all there creatures. The player can add two potential mutations to each parent giving the offspring cool bonus features. The huge combination of possible creatures that the player can breed is impressive.
This game explores the way that genetics work, and let players use strategy to build a strong pack of creatures capable of surviving the harsh world around them. Niche is a turn based strategy survival game that allows players to breed and evolve creatures. Hello and welcome to Jay’s Game Reviews!
